Chapter 275 (2): Eight Legs Walk into the Alley, Ten Come Out
Meanwhile, Megan had quickly thrown on a long robe after her evolution was complete and chased after Auston, just as she had done a million times, her body moving on autopilot.
She had gotten used to it.
When Auston was retrieved, Juno had already accepted her new backstory. She said through clenched teeth, “Father, you can’t kill me.”
Auston was beyond frustrated. He did his best to defend himself, swearing that there was nothing between him and the Queen, but Juno kept calling him father. With her truth invalidating his argument, he was thrown into the sky by Silvia again.
“Bastard, she called you ‘father’. How can you be so cold-blooded?!”
Furious, Silvia went on to throw Auston again and again, stating whatever reasons that flashed through her mind. Rational or irrational, a useful excuse was a good excuse. Veronica learned by example and came to an epiphany.
Moreover, she realized that the previous generation wasn’t pure, either. Their relationships were messier than hers, which made her feel better.
A moment later, Auston scowled at Juno and said, “Your Highness, I know you only call me father for your survival...”
“That would be calling an enemy father,” Wayne mumbled.
Silvia and Veronica nodded in agreement. Ignoring the comment, Auston continued, “The Lando family is loyal to the royal family. Both Wayne and I have pledged ourselves to Her Majesty, and I can promise that Wayne will not kill you. However...”
Please, stop with the ‘but’ and ‘however’. You two really are father and son. You speak in the same way.
Juno groaned silently, waiting for Auston to continue. The combination of the Darkness Knight and the Death Knight was too much for her to handle.
